TL;DR: In this article , the authors combined liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with soft, stretchable thermoelectrics to create transducers capable of electrically controlled actuation, active cooling, and thermal-to-electrical energy conversion.
Abstract: Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have attracted tremendous interest as actuators for soft robotics due to their mechanical and shape memory properties. However, LCE actuators typically respond to thermal stimulation through active Joule heating and passive cooling, which make them difficult to control. In this work, LCEs are combined with soft, stretchable thermoelectrics to create transducers capable of electrically controlled actuation, active cooling, and thermal‐to‐electrical energy conversion. The thermoelectric layers are composed of semiconductors embedded within a 3D printed elastomer matrix and wired together with eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn) liquid metal interconnects. This layer is covered on both sides with LCE, which alternately heats and cools to achieve cyclical bending actuation in response to voltage‐controlled Peltier activation. Moreover, the thermoelectric layer can harvest energy from thermal gradients between the two LCE layers through the Seebeck effect, allowing for regenerative energy harvesting. As demonstrations, first, closed‐loop control of the transducer is performed to rapidly track a changing actuator position. Second, a soft robotic walker that is capable of walking toward a heat source and harvesting energy is introduced. Lastly, phototropic‐inspired autonomous deflection of the limbs toward a heat source is shown, demonstrating an additional method to increase energy recuperation efficiency for soft systems.

TL;DR: A direct ink writing-based 3D-bioprinted and bioactive meat culture platform using Alg/Gel/PHs as a printable and edible component for the mass production of cultured meat is developed.
Abstract: Lab-grown bovine meat analogues are emerging alternatives to animal sacrifices for cultured meat production. The most challenging aspect of the production process is the rapid proliferation of cells and establishment of the desired 3D structure for mass production. In this study, we developed a direct ink writing-based 3D-bioprinted meat culture platform composed of 6% (w/v) alginate and 4% (w/v) gelatin (Alg/Gel)-based hydrogel scaffolds supplemented with naturally derived protein hydrolysates (PHs; 10%) from highly nutritive plants (soybean, pigeon pea, and wheat), and some selected edible insects (beetles, crickets, and mealworms) on in vitro proliferation of bovine myosatellite cells (bMSCs) extracted from fresh meat samples. The developed bioink exhibited excellent shear-thinning behavior (n < 1) and mechanical stability during 3D bioprinting. Commercial proteases (Alcalase, Neutrase, and Flavourzyme) were used for protein hydrolysis. The resulting hydrolysates exhibited lower-molecular-weight bands (12-50 kDa) than those of crude isolates (55-160 kDa), as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The degree of hydrolysis was higher in the presence of Alcalase for both plant (34%) and insect (62%) PHs than other enzymes. The 3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds displayed excellent bioactivity and stability after 7 days of incubation. The developed prototype structure (pepperoni meat, 20 × 20 × 5 mm) provided a highly stable, nutritious, and mechanically strong structure that supported the rapid proliferation of myoblasts in a low-serum environment during the entire culture period. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay enhanced the free radical reduction of Alcalase- and Neutrase-treated PHs. Furthermore, the bioprinted bMSCs displayed early myogenesis (desmin and Pax7) in the presence of PHs, suggesting its role in bMSC differentiation. In conclusion, we developed a 3D bioprinted and bioactive meat culture platform using Alg/Gel/PHs as a printable and edible component for the mass production of cultured meat.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide a comprehensive approach to the development of light-mediated 3D printing for tissue engineering applications, highlighting the present status of various photopolymers, their synthesis techniques, and optimization parameters for biomedical applications.
Abstract: The conversion of liquid resin into solid structures upon exposure to light of a specific wavelength is known as photopolymerization or photo-curable 3D printing. In recent years, photopolymerization-based 3D printing has gained enormous attention in tissue engineering for constructing highly complex and precise tissue structures. Due to the economic and environmental benefits of the biopolymers employed, photo-curable 3D printing is considered highly accurate and an alternative method for replacing damaged tissues. However, the lack of suitable bio-based photopolymers, their characterization, effective crosslinking strategies, and optimal printing conditions are hindering the extensive application and commercialization of those materials in the global market. This review highlights the present status of various photopolymers, their synthesis techniques, and optimization parameters for biomedical applications. Moreover, we also discussed a glimpse of various photopolymerization techniques that are currently employed for 3D printing. Furthurmore, we also reviewed the influence of various naturally-derived nanomaterial reinforced polymerization and their influence on printability and shape fidelity. Finally, the ultimate use of those photopolymerized hydrogel scaffolds in tissue engineering is also discussed. Taken together, we believe that photopolymerized 3D printing has a great future, whereas conventional 3D printing requires considerable sophistication, and this review will provide the readers with a comprehensive approach to the development of light-mediated 3D printing for tissue engineering applications.

TL;DR: In this article , the efficacy of the ethanolic extract of Neolamarckia cadamba (70%) in the forms of oral (200, 400 mg/Kg/day), and topical (5% and 10% w/w/day) administration was determined on first day of wound induction (day 1) and continued until the end day of the wound induction period (day 16).
Abstract: Diabetic wounds are one of the most common disorders associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Diabetes also has the additional effect of delaying the healing of wounds. Neolamarckia cadamba (Rubiaceae) is a plant that is well-known for its wide range of pharmacological properties. The efficacy of the ethanolic extract of Neolamarckia cadamba (70%) in the forms of oral (200, 400 mg/Kg/day), and topical (5% and 10% w/w/day) administration was determined on first day of wound induction (day 1) and continued until the end day of the wound induction period (day 16). The wound healing process in diabetic wounds was studied by assessing the wound contraction, serum glucose levels, biochemical and enzymatic antioxidant status in both control and treatment groups. Excision wound model histology was done to confirm activity. In the ethanolic extract of Neolamarckia cadamba numerous phytocomponents were found by doing a phytochemical analysis (alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, steroids, glycosides, tannins). The total phenolic and flavonoid content was determined to be 118.53 ± 1.36 mg/g and 106.51 ± 1.26 mg/g, respectively. In this investigation, Neolamarckia cadamba caused significant wound contraction of both forms i.e., oral (28.70%, 36.80% at doses 200, 400 mg/Kg/day) and topical (23.08%, 31.21% at doses 5%, 10% w/w/day) showed treated groups compared to the diabetic control. Additionally, oral treatment of Neolamarckia cadamba extract decreased serum glucose levels in diabetic wound rats on the 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th days, as compared to the diabetic wound control group. Moreover, biochemical and enzymatic status significantly decreased hexosamine, NO, and MDA, while increasing collagen, total protein, DNA, SOD, and CAT levels in the body. Histopathological investigations also demonstrated a dose-dependent improvement in wound healing in oral and topical treated groups by re-epithelialization, collagenation, and vascularization of damaged skin samples. The current study's findings indicate that the Neolamarckia cadamba may have potential for use in the formulation of diabetic wound healing medicines.
